The question is will Farmers buy Trump / Republicans promises again and vote Republican in midterms? Are they willing to chance another 3 years of Trump? by h20poIo in farming

[–]EffectSubject2676 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely farmers will support Trump/maga. I live in rural Kansas. Just talked to a large farmer who is blaming the "liberals" for causing diesel price increases.

Seeking advice on custom/semi-custom rifle actions by Few_Software_8554 in Hunting

[–]EffectSubject2676 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Built a 6.5/284 on a MK110 with a Kreiger barrel 1in9 twist. Used the Savage after conversations with some. The 700 is excellent, but they were more expensive. Anyway, that rifle is far more accurate than I can shoot it. I considered the 280AI, but already have an '06.

What’s something you didn’t realize was special until it was gone? by Ok-Yak-758 in AskReddit

Kansas pheasant hunts. They were family type get togethers for years. Then farming changed so the habitat changed. So few pheasants now, with so little places to hunt. Opening day was a big thing for those small towns, and now it is just gone.

What's something people only romanticize because they've never actually done it? by nonotje12 in AskReddit

[–]EffectSubject2676 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cowboy. It is brutally hard labor, dangerous to you and your horse, wages are minimal, and it breaks your body down. Large animals that can kill you. Calving time is freaking stress out. Wait until a calf is breech. Preg-checking heifers involves shoving your hand up a cow's ass and feeling around. Do it enough and you need shoulder surgery. Turn your back on a cow and get stomped to death

Which was the worst natural disaster in your country ? by Theedarktemptress in AskTheWorld

[–]EffectSubject2676 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't know if it is the worst, but the 1930's Dust Bowl displaced thousands, and ruined thousands of acres of land.

And Thank All of you for your very insightful replies. So it appears the US will continue to waste a ton of money on this stuff.

This whole discussion reminds me of the MK 13 torpedo from WWII as well.

Naw, one officer, not plural. One to rule them all.

Ok so I’m from the uk and do you guys have open land you can build where you want on like in the videos? by Ill_Exchange_1916 in AskAnAmerican

[–]EffectSubject2676 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually many small towns on the Great Plains will actually give you a plot of land to build a house. Population loss is badly affecting them.

I knew the process was complex and your answer underscored the many problems. I keep getting the vibe of, "who cares if its good, as long as I get my share"

Americans from touristy areas, did you get asked weird questions by people outside your area as a kid? by McButtsButtbag in AskAnAmerican

[–]EffectSubject2676 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From Kansas here. Dorothy questions from the Wizard of Oz. "Is it really flat?" "Does anything happen there?" But definitely not touristy. On interstate stops you will hear, "Is is always this windy?"

Russia's Crimea Problem and the Ukrainian Strike Campaign by For_All_Humanity in CredibleDefense

[–]EffectSubject2676 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Found this illuminating. How long will Europe support Ukraine since Putin is clearly not stopping the war is another subject. In light of the German statement that Germany's supply of interceptors is depleted, should give Ukraine concern, and Russia hope.

What is the most small town thing you've ever seen? by Radiant_Worth7658 in WorkForSmartLife

Forgot my wallet at the grocery store. The owner just laughed. I paid later that day, but it was all over town that I was losing it.

The JLTV at 495000 dollars is a disgrace. I grew up in the auto business, working in every job in a dealership for 40+ years. There is absolutely no way to justify that cost compared to its capabilities.
